Major League Baseball’s (MLB) Spring Training games will begin on March 17 under a revised schedule, the league said on Friday, a day after it reached an agreement on a five-year labour deal with its previously locked-out players.

The deal ended the second-longest work stoppage in the game’s history after MLB locked out players in December and cancelled the first two weeks of the season, which was scheduled to begin on March 31.
